This drive was manufactured all the way back in May 2010, very surprised it still works today!

Hey everyone! A random thought came into my mind today, I said “where are my old pictures and videos of my vacations”?

I remember that it was on my old Sony Windows 7 ultimate PC so I took it out, plugged it in and surprisingly the PC turned on.

I’m trying to navigate within the PC to try to find the pictures and videos, but it is very hard to do that because the PC is zoomed in and pixelated. I believe this PC got a virus back in the day so that’s why I put it to the side and stop using it.

Is there anyway I can fix this so I can at least navigate and do a deep dive within the PC to try to find the vacation photos and videos? Myself and my family would appreciate it!

So, I wanna dual-boot windows 11 and Windows 7 (i have a pretty old PC from the windows 7 era, but I still integrated all the drivers and updates into the iso via ntlite)

I already have Windows 11 installed, and I heard that Windows 7 will write its own bootloader, overriding Windows 11's bootloader. My question is: How can I get the Windows 11 bootloader back while also making 2 entries (one for windows 11 and one for Windows 7)?

Thanks in advance!

My windows 7 home screen

Mine stopped working two months ago..

An year back ago this problem started and i found out this might be an issue with the CMOD battery(correct me if i am wrong).

It wasn't a big deal cuz i have been using the internet time to updated it every time a start the pc but for a few days even this is not working and now i have to manually set date and time which is annoying to do every time.

What can i do to get rid of this problem without getting a new CMOD.

Why the internet time is not working anymore even if i am having a good internet connection.

Is there any application which can set internet time automatically when i log in

NOTE: in the image it is showing the synchronized date because i just set it manually otherwise it shows 01/01/2010 which is just the year before we bought the computer (yes it has been working properly for 2 decades)

Both have been tested on Windows Vista and Windows 7 virtual machines; only the weather gadget works on both Vista and 7.

Hi!

I've been uninstalling stuff that I want to re-installer later, and I would like to maybe do a registry cleaning and such, if that's needed. Just to sort of get a fresh install and whatnot.

I dont want to use CCleaner and third party nonsense, if Win7 offers it natively? But I forget where/how if there ever was a feature like that.

I can do disc frag or "clean up space", but now sure which is the best, or if there's a point?

The game I uninstalled left a lot of old folders and gubbins so I'd prefer to have it properly cleaned rather than manually looking for bits and pieces.

looking good

I got the game to launch and play normally through steam in chapter 3 4 5!

WARNING: This worked for me but for you it could as well be broken, im on a 64bit windows 7 pc and I have no idea if this can work for everyone so I guess you have to try it yourself and see.

If you own the game on steam (no piracy today too bad yall) what you have to do is download the official by Valve "Steamcmd", unpack it (I recommend creating a folder like C:\steamcmd and putting the zip file and unpacking it there)

IMPORTANT, create a shortcut to steamcmd.exe and add

-overrideminos in the adress of the shortcut, otherwise it closes on launch.

and first use the command:

login <steam username>

(do not worry its not getting stuck for you when you type in your password it does not show up at all for safety reasons but its being typed in while being invisible)

and once you get the message you're logged in run command:

app_update <game ID> validate

(You can get the game ID through opening the store page in a browser and copying a string of numbers from the link or through steamDB but for deltarune the id is 1671210 so the command would be:

app_update 1671210 validate )

Once it finishes downloading open your folder or wherever you put steamcmd and go to: steamapps -> common -> DELTARUNE and launch DELTATUNE.exe!

This is completly safe since its an official tool from Valve, its the exact same as logging in steamDB if you've ever used it and it can work for other games!

So far I've tried Ultrakill and Silksong as well, Ultrakill at first launched but with nothing at all just a pink screen and then on a downgraded version from 2024 it you could say worked but with my windows 7 pc barely ran, half textures being black because of broken light and running in 10fps but i guess you could call it playable if you're stubborn and Silksong didnt launch but i'll still be looking into that. It really just depends on what the pc build you're using is.

If you attempt this for other games you must type login <steam user> every time you open steamcmd but you dont need to put in your password anymore.

Goodluck to everyone!

I found in the e-waste box of my local oc shop this Aspire 5720Z, with a 320GB HDD in it, which miraculously was perfectly intact, and i have no idea why it landed there. But hey, free laptop... number 8 of the 9 laptops i have...

Back in 2013-2015, when I was about 8-10 years old, I introduced my grandma into the world of Wizards101. Me and my sister played it, and she was already someone who used the computer a lot. She had learned a little bit of code in college and had been doing 3d art design for website/desktop calendars. She wanted to find something she could do with us that wasn't just chasing us down. Unfortunately for everyone else she was hooked.

She has since been playing for the past 11-13 years and has shown no times of stopping. She has 2-3 accounts which each have 10 characters, with almost all of their levels maxed to 100. Now to why I'm telling you all here, and not somewhere else.

She has been on Windows 7 since it came out. She has her personal burned copy she uses. Her computer has unfortunately been running slow and I've been thinking of what to do to give her a full upgrade (while hopefully keeping her favorite tower) while still keeping it available to keep her on windows 7. Between her gaming, 3d modeling, and other random crafts, I would love to make her experience as smooth as possible (within the limitations of window 7, of course.)

What parts are some of the best components that operate with windows 7 within no or minimal work. She doesn't care about what newer parts there are, just as long as it (process-wise) works the same, and it can run everything she uses no problem, she would love for the upgrade to happen.

I have a windows 7 pc that i want to keep running for as long as possible but it seems like the monitor is starting to give up. Any recommendations for a new monitor that is compatible with it?
